Still no word after we gave him all the details two days ago. I also asked Mark for an estimated day when they would ship yesterday so I could advise my manager ahead of time that I now have to stay home for the delivery (which I wouldn't have to do had the package shipped within 5 months of the original promised date) and received no reply.

Just got my first official Submersive "Door Knock" tonight whilst watching Tron: Legacy (a rather bass heavy film I might add). A rather irate neighbour asked me to turn it down. I was kind of laughing at the whole matter at first but now I realised I just cant watch anything at night with the SubM strutting its stuff anymore

Watched "Tomorrow when the war began" again last night, first time with the seatons, and the point where the truck explodes just layers bass waves over you, as the bridge comes down a slams into the ground, I could feel the shock wave running through it and the slam as it hit the ground. Its an impressive use of the LF channel, not just an "OK, this is a big bang bit, turn the LF dial up"

Would't be necessary if the LF has been calibrated with the rest of the system. Turning subs up past what it's calibrated could cause driver damage or structural damage . I love bass as well but wouldn't just turn up the LF as in my system it doesn't require it, being calibrated with the rest of the system and I'm running 2 submersives much like yourself. No offence intended.

I'm keen to hear this now so thanks for the heads up.

You misunderstood, I was "speaking" as a reference to the sound engineer mixing the movie.

A nice read cooksta, reading about the Tron club scene actually reminds me of the club scene in "The Network" it bought back my own clubbing memories and I actually felt like I was in the club with them. Definitely a good scene to experience.

I haven't seen the amber light (not clipping but close) on either of the subs as yet. I'm not running them hot at all and the output is awesome. I too will get the new HP amps when they are released in 240v just to know that I have that extra headroom if I ever change house's and have a bigger room.

I would imagine that at calibrated levels the sub wouldn't clip. I wonder if the improvement of the 2.4k amp, as noted my many, is more to do with added control the extra power brings, ie it can respond, push it harder and faster, stop it and pull it back quicker.

Just a thought

Part of Mark's original HP Amplifier Upgrade Post:

The new US sourced amplifier is quite the beast, and effectively eliminates any hard amplifier clipping under any condition I've found thus far. Obviously there are limits past which it won't get any louder, but those are higher than the original SubMersive and it is even more graceful when it does reach that limit. Where the most benefit is realized is below 16-20Hz, but there is benefit across the board. The new amplifier does not make one SubMersive HP equal to a pair of originals, but it does make it better.

Addition/update:

With the added robustness and tolerance to over-driving in the new amplifier, I have also put the second DSP program to use. This relates to the PGM SEL, two position switch. While I still recommend the depressed (IN) program for most, I decided to use the extended (OUT) position of the switch to shift the roll off deeper to better match larger rooms or those who listen at lower levels wanting more lift to the bottom end. The response below 15Hz is parallel, but higher in level to the original response, with the +/-3dB window shifting down to 15Hz vs. the 19Hz of the original.

Definitely had mine clip when strong LFE hits. I was surprised how easy it was clipping but my room is oddly shaped and thus near field placement works best which means little room augmentation - so any sub would be working hard when digging deep. Also its not difficult to get it clipping with test tones either. There's definitely more excursion to be had. If the HP amp was available, I'd be first in line!

Ok you bass nuts. I had the pleasure of purchasing IP Man 1 2nd hand from a fellow forum member. This movie has some serious LF in it and will test your subversives. Think Tron Legacy but martial arts. This totally caught me off guard and wasn't expecting such a robust audio track. It's demo worthy all the way with a large sound presence and excellent use of surrounds. But it's the fights that have really tight controlled bass that will have you going "Holy Crap" especially the first fight by the out of towner and the first master. There's a bit where the master lands on the ground and it literally shook my entire house. Overkill for sure but makes me happy I have 2 subversives and any owner of this sub will love this BD ( not limited to just submersives owners of course). Has many scenes for you to demo your entire HT but the bass is the highlight. So if you want to show of your subs this movie is a great choice.
